Inter Milan and Neom have reportedly intensified talks over the transfer of Benjamin Pavard to the Saudi Pro League.

According to FCInter1908 , Neom manager Christophe Galtier is pressuring the club to sign the French defender.

Despite initially rejecting the idea of moving outside Europe, Benjamin Pavard could change his mind.

Indeed, Galtier is trying to convince the 29-year-old to accept Neom ’s proposal and switch to Saudi Arabia.

Talks are ongoing as the former Lille boss continues to push for the Frenchman’s transfer.

Inter are open to selling the former Bayern Munich star for the right price.

Moreover, they’ve already set a €20 million price tag on the versatile defender to facilitate his exit.

However, they’ve failed to drum up any serious interest from Europe.

Therefore, a transfer to Saudi Arabia is Pavard’s best chance to leave San Siro by the end of the summer.

Meanwhile, Inter would use the money from Pavard’s sale to sign a new center-back.

Bayern’s Kim Min-jae could be an option.
